In the /etc/modules.conf are the above lines commented out or not? If you have recompiled the kernel with the serial routines compiled into the Kernel then I think you need to set them off as below alias char-major-4 off alias char-major-5 off If you are using modules then they should be set as follows alias char-major-4 serial alias char-major-5 serial The other thing to check if the serial ports are on the motherboard. Use command cat /proc/tty/driver/serial to list the serial devices. Extract from my machine shown below. merlin:/usr/local # cat /proc/tty/driver/serial serinfo:1.0 driver:4.27 0: uart:16550A port:3F8 irq:4 baud:2400 tx:8262180 rx:45660015 RTS|CTS|DTR|CD 1: uart:16550A port:2F8 irq:3 baud:115200 tx:16139617 rx:235581846 brk:11 oe:6 RTS|CTS|DTR|DSR|CD 2: uart:unknown port:3E8 irq:4 3: uart:unknown port:2E8 irq:3 Hope this helps Graham Smith ---------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
